Was expecting more + a missing part...

For the price I paid, I was expecting more. While the functionality that is there is nicely situated in a control panel and the gearing is always fascinating to witness during the build, I must agree with other reviewers that the lack of mobility and no function for swinging the arm was a real minus. Just one medium sized motor?? And the functions are so slow as to make playing with the set meaningless. I love LEGO and until recently, LEGO'S ingenuity set it apart from the Chinese sets like Mould King, but they are catching up VERY fast. On top of all this, the set was missing a part that stopped construction until I found a similar piece in another set that I could borrow. I'm still waiting for the part from Denmark.

Thank you for your review. We're sorry that your new set is not what you had expected it to be and that you had a piece missing. It's certainly not the experience we want our fans to have. We appreciate the feedback and will make sure that it's passed on.
Glad I read the reviews first

I'll admit I haven't got this set, however, that's due to all the 1 star reviews highlighting the poor value for money. Lego, please take all the feedback into account for future sets. Don't lose adult fans because of prices, which are increasing whilst quality of the products is reducing. There are lots of 2nd sets and Lego out there which offer far, far better value than this set, which doesn't offer anything that new or different.
Nice build

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have read the reviews and decided ti buy something else. But realty changed my mind at the lego shop! I believe it is a great kit, made me get to into the crane theme of LEGO. Currently looking to find more motorised kits to build! It needs a certain skill to build though!

An enjoyable and easy build. Slightly disappointed that the movement of the arm is very slow - I would have expected the movements to have been slightly quicker. Also disappointed that the tracks were not powered. Still, a handsome model, though!

Good build, I am into construction vehicles and I have added it to my collection. Could be better if it was app controlled. I would recommend it

Was thinking about buying this before I read all the poor reviews. Thanks you for saving me a ton of money 💰 🙏🏽. Past annual flagship Lego sets were so much better than this. What happened, Lego?

I really love Lego excavators but this one missed the mark. At this price point I don’t care about motorized functionality. I want pneumatics!! It just helps everything move more realistically. Further, I’d love if Lego could introduce some hydrolics. Fisher Technik could do it so why not Lego?
Way too expensive!

This set is way too expensive! For the number of pieces and only one motor, it should have been a lot cheaper. Something I have noticed with LEGO is that if a set is marketed as 18+ (as this one is), you can expect to have to pay a lot more for it than if was for a below 18 age group. Why should we be paying more for LEGO just because a set is aimed at adults specifically?
Not the best

Was really looking forward to this build as Lego Technic don’t come around enough, to say I was disappointed is a understatement, not good value for money, was expecting full app control for the price of the set, maybe should have researched before buying as I might have not purchased, so please Lego bring out another build vehicle soon but with full motorised actions, it might then be worth the money, from a very disappointed loyal customer.
Why you let me down, my dear Lego

I bought every Lego Technic flagship construction vehicle since 2011. The first one was 8043 excavator. 14 years later, we are here - half baked set, with functions barely working for price which is impossible to justify. I love construction sets, I display them. Dear Lego, I regret the purchase for the first time. I feel embarrassed by the fact that I spent so much money to so little of the set. By decreasing the quality of your products you will lose your loyal customers such as me and I am not the only one. Never thought I will have a sad day after getting Lego.
Leaves wanting for more

I bought this as a pre-order after passing over a few others options which had average reviews. Now, I wish I waited as my experience is much like others. I do like the excavator but the overall cost for the set troubles me. It was too easy and too quick to build with mediocre functionality. Perhaps Lego would consider a remote control function for an item at this value. I would also like Lego to consider using more black and grey connectors so that the end result may look a bit more authentic. I understand this could complicate the build for some but the use of the app can assist in offering clarity to piece selection.
